Check it out.

If the Odometer is wrong, that's more of an issue. My wife and I recently bought a used Infinity SUV via private party. When I questioned the speedo accuracy, the dealer said there had been a recall and fixed it - part of the fix was to roll about 3000 miles off the odo to compensate for the past life of error. instant equity
No I haven't checked the odometer yet.

When I corrected the 10% speed error on my 900 classic to less than 3% the round trip mileage to work changed from 23.21 miles to 21.73 miles per all mapping the way I go is 21.1 miles. When you consider that the same device measures mileage for both I would expect the error to be in both.

Guess I'll check it to see though.
